Happy Campers

Registration Is Open – Early Bird(s) Deadline!

Our Holiday!

There’s nothing like living in a shelter to bring back memories of Yagilu. Every camper in Y1 had the opportunity to build and sleep in their own shelter. Ask them how it feels to spend the night away from your warm, comfortable bed, in the great outdoors where there are always things moving in the middle of the night. It’s one of the activities that takes the most courage from our campers. It’s also one of the activities that are most consistently mentioned as the highlight of the summer – something that you accomplished, that you never thought you’d be able to do. It’s an incredible feeling! Many campers also tell us that in the dark of night, totally surrounded by the unknown, they whisper a quiet, simple Tefilla to Hashem: Please keep me safe tonight.

To me, this feeling sums up how the Jews must have felt each night in the desert for 40 years. Moving from place to place, never knowing where they were headed next and where their next meal was coming from; going to sleep each night must have been accompanied by that same prayer: Please keep me safe tonight. Ask your child what his experience was like, and relive it with him!

Y1 campers old enough to graduate to Y2 will challenge themselves with a 10-Day Hike (an adventure unique to Camp Yagilu) while continuing the special relationships built in Y1.

Y2-ers will advance to Y3, building their skills while experiencing the wonders of a Bushwhack hike and other incredible adventures. Sign your child up now! And if you know someone who’s children would appreciate everything Yagilu has to offer, send them this post or direct them to Yagilu.com – it’s so easy!
